The Service Interval Display in the instrument cluster will remind you to carry out
every service stipulated by the manufacturer at the right time, in order to avoid
forgetting any.
A timely and adequate performance of servicing works is one of the requirements
for the settlement of possible warranty claims.
The completion of services can be verified through the service schedule and the
respective receipts.
The service intervals are matched to normal operating conditions. In case of difficult operating conditions, it is necessary to have some servicingwork performed before the date of the next service or between the service inter-
vals stated. This applies mainly to the cleaning or the replacement of the air filter
insert in regions with heavy dust pollution as well as checking and replacing the
toothed belt, but also vehicles with diesel particle filter which can use the engine
oil more intensely.
These severe conditions are:
› Fuel containing sulphur
› Frequent short trips
› Longer idling mode of the engine (e.g. taxi vehicles)
› Operation in areas with heavy dust pollution
› Frequent trailer operation
›
Predominantly stop-and-go traffic as tends to occur in city driving, for example
› Operation predominantly during winter.
A service consultant at the specialist garage will tell you whether the operating conditions of your vehicle make it necessary for such work to be carried out be-
tween the normal service intervals.
Different service charges may apply, depending on the scope of necessary works
as well as the model, features and condition of your vehicle.
Note
■ The customer is responsible for covering the cost of all services including
changing or replenishing the operating fluid, even during the warranty period, un-
less the ŠKODA AUTO a.s. warranty terms or other agreements state otherwise.■
You will be informed about the scope of the service with regard to a particular
service event by the specialist garage.

Under exceptional circumstances, methylated spirits can also be used if no screen
cleaner with antifreeze is available. The concentration of methylated spirits must
not be more than 15 %. The freeze protection at this concentration is sufficient
only to -5 °C.
CAUTION
■ Under no circumstances must radiator antifreeze or other additives be added to
the windscreen washer fluid.■
Do not remove the filter from the windscreen washer fluid reservoir when refill-
ing, as this may cause contamination of the liquid transportation system, leading
in turn to a windscreen washer system malfunction.

The engine has been factory-filled with a high-grade oil that can be use through-
out the year - except in extreme climate zones.
The engine oils are undergoing continuous further development. Thus the infor-
mation stated in this Owner's Manual is only correct at the time of publication.
ŠKODA Service Partners are informed about the latest changes by the manufac-
turer. We therefore recommend that the oil change be completed by a ŠKODA
Service Partner.
The specifications (VW standards) stated in the following can be indicated sepa-
rately or together with other specifications on the bottle.
The oil capacities include oil filter change. Check the oil level when filling; do not
over fill. The oil level must be between the markings » page 131.

The engine compartment of your car is a hazardous area. The following
warning instructions must be followed at all times when working in the en-
gine compartment » page 127.■
Do not continue your journey if for some reason it is not possible to top
up the engine oil under the prevailing conditions! Switch off the engine and
seek assistance from a specialist garage.
